July will be a time of facing and dissecting your fears to understand yourself better and to see the ways in which you’d like to grow more clearly. Venus will enter Gemini on July 4th, followed by Uranus on July 7th. This might have you paying an unforeseen visit to a close one in hospital and facing your fears around health matters together, which is likely to bring you closer. It seems that apart from emotional gifts this month, there might be some financial ones too. If you’re investing, your assets could soar unexpectedly, helping you to put a deposit down on a property. Financial markets aren’t something everyone participates in so it might simply be that you’ll get approved for a mortgage or one of your loans finally gets paid off. Alternatively, you could find yourself a beneficiary of an inheritance that brings you more financial stability. Venus transit through Gemini will be short-lived, but helpful for your material resources. On the other hand, Uranus’ entry into the sign of twins will mark a much longer, 7-year period of groundbreaking change in the way you approach debt, savings and property ownership. You’ll have to face your fears and worries around your resources and sharing them with others, and although at times it might feel unsettling, your understanding of the matters will expand exponentially. You’re also likely to come across unusual and unexpected opportunities for a property purchase or making an investment. Either way, at the end of this transition, your approach to personal finances is going to be entirely transformed and you’re going to feel much more at ease making money-related decisions going forward. During this time, it’s important to ask yourself: What am I afraid to share (materially and emotionally)? What story from the past about betrayal or scarcity still affects my behaviour to this day? Uranus wants to break you free — but first, you must be honest with yourself about the locks you keep closed, otherwise he’ll rip them open.
The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10th might bring news about the outcome of a job or university application, if that’s something you pursued recently. Even if you haven’t applied for any new positions, work is likely to be on your mind during this time. You might end up venting to a friend or perhaps even treating yourself to a holiday to get a break and recharge. The New Moon on the 24th of July will be accompanied by Mercury retrograde and it’s likely to have you revisit that conversation and reflect the way you share your fears and frustrations with others. It’s not necessarily a bad thing; it could be very helpful to allow the release of tension you’ve been feeling for a while now. Especially if you choose to have that conversation with a good friend of yours.
On the very last day of July, Venus will move into Cancer and join Jupiter who will be there for the next 12 months. This is going to help allow you to be gentler with yourself and open your mind to fresh perspectives. You might also enjoy travelling abroad during this time, either with your partner or with your friends. That time is going to bring a much-needed respite from all the tension you’ve been experiencing at work and it’s something to look forward to!
